    Pfizer vaccine was never tested for stopping transmission. Government and media insisted it stopped transmission. Gov/ media mantra: take it for your ‘neighbor’. If it didn’t stop transmission, why the need for Gov’t ‘vaccine passports’?

    Pzfizer “scientists” and governments internationally knew all along the shots didn’t stop transmission of Covid, they also knew the shots would cause severe adverse reactions and death, yet they forced them upon us anyway. Remember all the news outlets: CNN, MSNBC, etc, and even our local news parroted the same lies saying the shots would protect people from spreading Covid? Remember all those who were ridiculed, ostracized, censored, arrested, and discriminated against for refusing to take the shots? For presenting facts that showed exactly what the Pfizer executives just admitted in hearings over in the EU a couple days ago? Yeah, I remember that too because I was one of the few who didn’t succumb to the social pressure and who refused to go along with their lies. Now, we have been proven right. Maybe people will begin to listen to those who the media try to shut down for presenting the truth…I can only hope so. Thanks for posting that, Ttunac.

      Yeah, pretty sure they’re going to sweep this under the rug.

      Although Sen.Paul has indicated he intends to look in to it if given more of a chance.

        Sadly, it looks as though they will continue to try to bury it, which is why those who are awake need to continue to expose big pharma’s, big tech’s, and the Biden regime’s crimes against humanity. The national and local propaganda outlets aka news sources are still pushing these deadly shots like the disgusting dope dealers they are as if nothing ever happened. No reports, just more lies and because the media knows the public is so apathetic and brainwashed by their professional spin doctors, they’ll likely continue to believe the media’s lies without further ado. I have never seen Americans so broken down, so eager to bow to tyrants as they/we have displayed over the last few years. It’s really sad. At least there are some of us who still have a spirit that won’t be broken or sold. I wish the best to those who fight for their limitations and weaknesses as if they were virtues; I wish the best to those who prefer enslavement over liberty for that is precisely what they will get. As Benjamin Franklin so eloquently stated: “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” How true those words are reflected in our current time.

      “they also knew the shots would cause severe adverse reactions and death”

      “Now, we have been proven right.”

      You have? Sixty four percent of Utahans are fully vaccinated. Where are all the severe reactions and deaths?

        Tesla owners have reported cars dying despite having fully charged battery packs.
        Google ‘died suddenly’ for more details.

    Trump pushed the ‘warp speed’ initiative and vaccinations. I don’t think this is a fully left/right issue. But questioning the official line was getting hundreds of thousands getting kicked off YT, FB, Twitter and Reddit. It was/is amazing to watch. Watching discussion boards talking about adverse reactions wiped off FB was pretty crazy.

      And Trump still hasn’t come out against it, which is disturbing and a bit infuriating considering he was lied to by Fauci, Birx, and the rest of them as well. You are spot on pointing out that this has nothing to do with the Right or Left and their affiliated groups, they’re distractions and have been created solely to cause division and hatred. Divide and conquer. History has shown us time and time again that once a nation is divided from within, it’s only a matter of time before the entire nation/empire is conquered. America will be destroyed unless we come together and recognize that we’re being played off against each other. Race, gender, religion, class, etc..are all subjective categories that have been exploited in order to get everyone fighting against each other without any idea that it has all been arranged by the elites. When we decide to quit fighting and come together based on love and our commonality of “human being,” we will then realize the elites and their dark forces have no power over us. As it stands now…we are letting ourselves be manipulated in every way possible and most have no idea.

    Covid and the January 6 hearings can be filed under “who gives a s—“

      Yeah, I haven’t been watching/following the J6 committee. It was pretty apparent it was going to be narrative driven. I wish it could have been an honest investigation on what went on that day.
